IRSA NOR and SI Guide

IRSA has updated the IRSA Notice of Race and Sailing Instruction Guides. These documents propose standard wording for Notices of Race and Sailing Instructions for World and Continental Championships. The guide will also be useful when preparing race documents for other events. However, for such events some of the paragraphs may be unnecessary. Organising Authorities and Race Committees should therefore be careful when making their choices.

The documents are the result of several years of development. Many radio sailors and race officials have contributed to this work which began in 2013 when Roy Granich was Racing Chairman. The ideas and wordings have been tested and improved at several World and European Championships for both the Marblehead and One Metre classes.
